Pegassus Tattoo Although we tend to classify all flying horses as a "Pegasus", according to mythology there was only one true Pegasus. This was the name that was given to the flying horse born to Medusa and Poseidon in Greek mythology. Pegasus was then tamed by the Greek hero Bellerophon (not Hercules) and brought lightening and thunder to Zeus. Pegasus was said to have gone to Mount Olympus and brought thunder and lightning to Zeus. Does that provide you with a reason to get a Pegasus tattoo? Perhaps it does, perhaps you just love this look. In any case, it is a very well sought after choice. If you are like many, you want to get a tattoo of Pegasus to show that you are one of a kind, a person unlike any other. Or, perhaps you wish you had the ability to fly.
